I can't help but notice that QuickStep's "new jersey" is the exact same one they wanted to use last year for the Ronde Van Vlaanderen

I noticed that too ... which is why I'm a little unsure whether it really is the 2010 one. |

Evans has finally decided to do the smart thing and go for the win in a Grand Tour other than the french one.....
So he's decided to stake everything in the GT with the least time trial kms since TTs were introduced in the 1940s.
MORON.
He's going to, and I'm quoting him here "Give it all to take the Giro"

What shall he do? Le Tour is beyond his habilites, and la Vuelta won't have many more TT kms than the Giro.
Anyway, does this leave BMC out of le Tour? |

Question is whether he's serious about it. The race organizers usually like to hear that kind of comments while comments such as "I'm just doing this to get in form" can be quite degrading, especially if it comes from a CT team. |

Agreed, especially with Lampre now a conti team BMC need to ensure that the get an invite, this is a good way, although Does this mean he won't be peaking for the worlds in Australia?

QFT. Until the BMC's calendar is clear, I wouldn't give too much importance for statements like Cadel's one. I can't see BMC in both Giro and Tour, so I agree with Crue in that he's just clearing the road and avoiding to close doors for his team. |

Speaking of calendar, reminds me of something Caisse announced yesterday that I never thought I'd see away from PCM: Valverde at the Tour Down Under

Maximka. They haven't been granted a Pro Tour license yet. Not a Pro Continental one, either, so actually, they won't be able to participate in the Giro.
But yeah, they said the problem will be solved, but it will have to happen soon... |

Keeping a low profile during suspension is easier said than done it seems. |

Valvede's two CAS hearings:
January 12th to 14th - CONI's suspension in italian soil
March 18th to 21st - WADA and UCI's joing bid to force the spanish authorities to punish him
